  • Prepare detailed drawings of architectural and structural features of buildings or drawings and topographical relief maps used in civil engineering projects, such as highways, bridges, and public works. Use knowledge of building materials, engineering practices, and mathematics to complete drawings.

  • Analyze building codes, by-laws, space and site requirements, and other technical documents and reports to determine their effect on architectural designs.
  • Calculate heat loss and gain of buildings and structures to determine required equipment specifications, following standard procedures.
  • Calculate weights, volumes, and stress factors and their implications for technical aspects of designs.
  • Coordinate structural, electrical, and mechanical designs and determine a method of presentation to graphically represent building plans.
  • Determine procedures and instructions to be followed, according to design specifications and quantity of required materials.
  • Draft plans and detailed drawings for structures, installations, and construction projects, such as highways, sewage disposal systems, and dikes, working from sketches or notes.
  • Draw maps, diagrams, and profiles, using cross-sections and surveys, to represent elevations, topographical contours, subsurface formations, and structures.
  • Draw rough and detailed scale plans for foundations, buildings, and structures, based on preliminary concepts, sketches, engineering calculations, specification sheets, and other data.
  • Obtain and assemble data to complete architectural designs, visiting job sites to compile measurements as necessary.
  • Prepare colored drawings of landscape and interior designs for presentation to client.
  • Prepare cost estimates, contracts, bidding documents, and technical reports for specific projects under an architect's or engineer's supervision.
  • Represent architect or engineer on construction site, ensuring builder compliance with design specifications and advising on design corrections, under supervision.
  • Review rough sketches, drawings, specifications, and other engineering data to ensure that they conform to design concepts.

  • Analyze costs and benefits of proposed designs or projects.
  • Create graphical representations of structures or landscapes.
  • Create graphical representations of civil structures.
  • Evaluate designs or specifications to ensure quality.
  • Evaluate technical data to determine effect on designs or plans.
  • Explain engineering drawings, specifications, or other technical information.
  • Recommend technical design or process changes to improve efficiency, quality, or performance.
  • Supervise engineering or other technical personnel.
